Engine Managment Light

The Bear · 12th November 2007, 16:09

Hi guys anyone hazard a guess as to the above light being on on my Zt 190+,
although the engine does run i have had 2 occasions in the past two weeks when i have had problems starting the vehicle ie turns over but will not fire.Would this log a fault in the ecu and so show by the light coming on.

I would expect a fault to be logged, but not neceesarily illuminate the light.

An "almost stall" with me a couple of times did it for me ...?? (1.8 75)

Can i clear this myself or is it a garage visit.

If the fault does not recurr (some faults) it should clear itself after a couple or so cycles of the ign sequence (the fault remains logged internally though).

Any other sugestions and am i ok to drive to the local Mg Repairer approx 5 miles.After several starts of the engine the light remains.
